Scientists have found that combining isothiocyanates, chemicals found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli or cabbage, with selenium may inhibit the development of melanoma. Isothiocyanates by themselves are not very potent, but exchanging a sulfur bond with selenium changes everything. This combination has the potential to inhibit the growth of tumors in mice by 50 to 60 percent.

This combination targets the Akt3 protein that is used in the development of melanoma. Blocking this protein reduced the growth of tumors in mice but did not work equally on 3 different melanoma cell lines.

There is still much more research to be done but the investigators believe their findings may lead to an IV drug that could treat melanoma or an additive to sunscreen to prevent melanoma.

Are you kidding me? Do they have to synthesize everything? Why can't a doctor tell his patient to change his life style and start eating healthy? Why does it HAVE to come in the form of a pill? Doctor's won't tell you that you're fat and that you have to change your diet or else you'll die. They will instead give you a pill to lower your choleserol or better yet, offer Gastric Bypass surgery which will only buy a little more time. Is it because they don't know the answer themselves? It is because people just don't want to change? Will people sue the doctor for calling them fat?

The same applies for cancer. They are simply trying (and failing) to remove the tumor. They are not interested in fixing the problem.

Is the Gerson Therapy a CURE FOR CANCER? I don't know, but the fact is that chemo drugs kill, cause secondary cancers and give horrific side effects. Heck, anyone can do chemo. I like my decision.

I agree. I see people of our generation dying rapidly trying the quick fix or expecting the newest pill to work and not being accountable for there own health. Medicine has it's place but it's not always the answer. I recently knew someone who took chemo lived for 5 yrs in remission and then got a secondary leukiema that took her in just a couple weeks. The original cancer never came back but the leukiema was a direct (proven) result of the chemo. I applaud you efforts and knowledge.

1. Chop 6-8 slices of Gerson approved bread into small cubes (organic,saltless, sourdough rye bread, which we ordered from a bakery incanada...they shipped us 12 loaves at a time...listed in one of the gerson book appendix:

3. Bake on low heat, 150-200 degrees. Stir occasionally, and bake forabout 2 hours, or until desired "crunchiness" and so that all theonion/garlic is cooked, otherwise when you store it, the onion ifstill moist will turn bad...

5. Delicious over salads, in soups, or just as a snack that is crunchyin texture.

"APPLE BETTY"

1. Soak 1 cup of organic dried apricots overnight in distilled H2o.Drian H2o next day, and stew in fresh batch of distilled H2o (2 cupsof water). DO NOT discard water after apricots are stewed!!! Removeapricots from water & mash them up in a dish. Set aside mashedapricots & water for later use...

3. Use a deep glass dish for baking in: layer the bottom of the dishwith uncooked organic oats, nutmeg & allspice. then alternate layersof sliced fruit, apricot mash, and thin layers of oats, nutmeg &allspice. fill to top of dish, with topmost layer of dessert being alayer of oats...this is like the top crust.

4. Use "apricot water" to drizzle over the top layer of oats...it willrun down into the lower layers. Gives it another level of sweetness.

Mike, one more thing...we also created a highly functional Gerson Therapy set-up in our home when my husband began his therapy. It was efficient, streamlined, and included a custom built enema table in the bathroom, much like the ones at BNC. It is a gorgeous piece of 'furniture", upholstered by a master craftsman...I'm letting you know about this in case you are in need of an enema table for your return home. If so, I can send you photos of it and figure out how to get it to you.

My home email is: danielahs@twcny.rr.com

I hope your family is doing well while you are away. We had an infant when my husband went to BNC, so I was unable to go to BNC like your wife. Hang in there. You'll all be together very soon...

Flax oil twice a day in the beginning is correct. A little known fact. Charlotte Gerson is allergic to flax oil. After 22 years of following the diet strictly, an adverse reaction started to appear. Make sure you add in some other fats once the cancer has gone. :)

I enjoy reading your blog, and I think that your advice is sound. Thanks for sharing and I wish you luck in your journey!

Hi Mike. The reason the pharma companies need to make it into a pill is so they can patent it and commercialise it. Also, consumer demand seems to also dictate a fast-food mentality when it comes to treatments & cures. Pop a pill and have a smoke and drink after. The big corporates love it.
